The real issue seems to be that you want "localhost" to reference the Windows host. This should work automagically in WSL, but for regular VMs you will need (1) a bridged adapter and (2) to either use the IP or to set "localhost" to the Windows IP in the hosts file.– EstherCommented Oct 25, 2023 at 16:01

Assuming either NAT or Bridged network connections in the guest (not Host Only) you should be able to access the other machine by IP address. To run a Browser on the Windows Host (that is to run an App), you may need to RDP into the machine to use it. I have done both the above here.– anonCommented Oct 25, 2023 at 22:44

Is there any link you could provide that contains the steps?– NitishCommented Oct 26, 2023 at 5:35

Map a folder on Windows from Linux: SMB://IPaddress/folder . This maps a connection on Windows. RDP: Use RDP on Linux and access the Windows Machine to run an App on the Windows machine.– anonCommented Oct 26, 2023 at 13:12

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
